This is, hopefully, the first in a series of 'aircraft' using the term loosely, as pretty much all are most at home in space, from the Discovery Mod of the old game, Freelancer.

Some will be from the 'vanilla' version of the game and some will be from the mod itself and those ships are unique to the Discovery Mod.

Most will resemble the actual in game model at worst, some with a little bit of luck and (slowly) improving build skills will look like the 'real thing'.

This is one that resembles the in game version.

Note: The Star Blazer is a ship available to 'Civilian' pilots, meaning anyone can fly it. Other ships I hope to make will come from different factions in the game and can only be flown by those groups.

Now, how to fly it. Normal controls. Full power and it will take off all by itself.
Ignore the nose down attitude, as it reaches take off/flying speed, it will rise up on the landing gear and 'leap' off the ground. I'm not kidding about the leaping part.

The faster it goes the more it wants to fly up. Do not use auto pilot!
If you lose control, forget it and start over.

Sad to say it doesn't fly as well as I would like it to and took a lot of fiddling and messing about to get to fly as well as it does.
